Overview
- Canal+ said it is ready to distribute the new Ligue 1+ channel starting next season.
- LFP Media replied that any deal requires Canal+ to withdraw eight lawsuits seeking about €660 million.
- The league also demanded treatment on par with European competitions in Canal+ packages and cited DAZN’s past carriage on Canal+ that yielded only 90,000 sign-ups.
- Canal+ argued it can boost reach thanks to strong Champions League audiences and wants French league coverage kept inside its sports bundle, with an earlier ask for a €10 monthly price.
- LFP Media said Ligue 1+ prices will be announced in June with higher rates and loyalty bonuses as the 2026–27 launch approaches.
